Convenient to carry - and drinkable? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

portable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'convenient' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'carry and drinkable?' is the wordplay.
'carry' becomes 'port' (porting is a kind of carrying).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'drinkable?' becomes 'able' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'port'+'able'='PORTABLE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for portable that I've seen before include "desirable type of pension" , "Easily transported" , "Able to be carried" , "radio" , "Handy - lightweight" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
